What is your opinion or comment about AA?

Anonymous said...: Hello friends - i apologize if I have cross posted this here as well as on Acholinet.

I am a film maker from Canada. We are currently putting 'the wraps' on
a documentary that we have been working on for the past year and a half
on Northern Uganda. We set out to create a movie on the LRA and the
atrocities committed in this little heard of conflict.. we ended up
creating a powerful film about forgiveness and the plight of the Acholi
people. We were able to attend numerous cleansing ceremonies, Mato Oput
and have followed Archbishop Odama, Rwot David Acana II, Brig. Kenneth
Banya, Walter Ochara, many NGOs, Human Rights advocates, children,
former rebels, the people of Pabbo (and other camps) and many, many
more..

What I need now is to create a website to promote the film and the
campaign that will be running this summer and tie into efforts we have
hooked into on the political front. What I need from you folks, the
experts, are pictures and resources that are Acholi related. For this
website I would like to make it as Acholi as possible. I'm looking for
old hand drawn maps of Acholi land, and images or ideas on items that
are specific to Acholi (Elephant, leopard skin, drums, kalabash etc..)

Any ideas on how I can make this as Acholi as possible? Any thoughts,
suggestions or resources are greatly welcomed!

Thanks!
Tim
